Will I invest in the GoPro Hero4 Black?

At S$700 (US$500) for a small and light camera, I will go for it. I intend to travel with it shooting time lapse day and night stock footage in 4K 30fps. I may also use it as a b-roll cam for seminar shoots.

Why shoot with more than one camera?
Originally, I use a second video camera as a backup.
Things happen, and the backup footage saved the day many times.
Then I realised the final result looked great… like a higher budget production with multiple camera crew.
The extra footage was also used to cover up all that panning and zooming between the lecturer and the slides.
From then on, I used the second cam footage even when nothing happened to the main one.
Clients win, as they get a multi-crew production standard for the price of one.
How can one man handle multiple cameras?
The basic setup uses two cameras.
The main cam is bigger and more professional. One that is always with me. I am controlling it throughout the shoot.
The main cam is mostly following the lecturer at mid shot.
The second cam is smaller and lighter. Even the tripod accompanying it is smaller and lighter.
The second cam is mostly wide shot of the stage with the lecturer and projection screen in sight. It is unmanned a…

Best ever! Ok Go never fail to surprise me.
Is this 100% real? Or is it a mix of green screen and animation?
One thing for sure, it takes a lot of practice…
…And clever/creative use of the flying camera drone.

Somehow I knew about this, and now it's confirmed. - “People think the goal of meditation is to empty the mind, it’s not about clearing the mind; it’s about focusing on one thing. When the mind wanders, the meditation isn’t a failure. Our brain is like a wayward puppy, out of control. Catching it and putting it back to the object of focus is the mediation.” - Mike Brooks, an Austin, Texas-based psychologist, - Incorporate mini meditatations while walking, running, cycling, eating, drinking, or doing a task. - Focus your attention on one thing. The sound of insects. The feeling under your feet. Listen to your deep breathing. Taste your meal. - When your mind wanders, catch it and bring it back to the original focus. - “Research shows that a total of 15 minutes of meditating each day for several weeks produces detectable, positive changes in the brain as well as corresponding reductions in stress, anxiety, and an enhanced sense of well-being,”

Audio engineering seems alien to most Videographers. But audio is so important in any video that we cannot ignore it. Here are three audio adjustment filters you must know to make your audio sound better… (my totally simplified definition).

Compressor: Lowers the loudest volume. Raises the quietest volume. Expander: Raises the quietest volume without lowering or raising the loudest volume. Limiter: Sets the loudest volume level, so no volume can go over it.
Use each or a combination of the filters for different types of audio (voice, music, etc).
